Honor of Kings Season 7 major battlefield upgrades
Honor of Kings Season 7 introduces three significant upgrades to the game's battlefield mechanics.
1) Ranged Minions
Upon destroying all of the opposing team's high-ground towers, minion waves in all lanes will be strengthened.
Rather than the standard Melee Super Minion + Melee Minion + Ranged Minion wave, minion waves in all lanes will be adjusted to Melee Super Minion + Ranged Super Minion + Cannon. This has been done to give players "an additional objective to strive for beyond destroying the Crystal when the battle is fought to a standstill in the late game."
When a Ranged Minion is upgraded to a Super Ranged Minion, its base stats will be upgraded as follows:
- Base Health increased from 1,700 to 3,000
- Base attack increased from 90 to 300
- Base Magical Attack increased from 90 to 300
- Gold and EXP rewards for defeating Ranged Super Minions remain the same as Ranged Minions.
Firehawk Nest
In Honor of Kings Season 7, a new Firehawk Nest will appear in the Farm Lane 30 seconds into the match. The developer has made the Firehawk a critical resource in the Farm Lane to help support heroes assist marksmen more in the early game.
